Okay, but how does that definition not precisely describe a tool?
It sounds like it very much is a tool, in the exact usual sense of the word.
I guess they think tools are just things like pliers, wrenches, grinders etc. without realizing they themselves are the real tools they made along the way
They were guinea pigs. Their “tooliness” is just a side effect of the experiment.
Yeah but why is it disposable though. Plastic waste smh.
The world of Deus Ex is one of extreme late stage capitalism, so disposable for no other reason then to make you buy another one tracks… Or maybe it’s a liability thing?
It’s obviously to ensure terrorists can’t use them at scale without obtaining crates of the things. They made and sold a reusable multitool once - society almost didn’t recover.
“What is this, some kind of sonic screwdriver?”
-Dr Who
The tool helps you Deu Sex.
I thought it was those folding pliers that have a knife and a screwdriver in the handle?
The monologue is a quote from Deus Ex, talking about one of these electronic gizmos.
So… basically the sonic screwdriver from Doctor Who then?
That’s what I thought!
Who is Deus Ex?
One of the best video games ever made.
So it’s just a fancy hammer
